Abstract
Palladium-catalysed reactions between methyl acrylate and the isolated alkenyl nonaflates 2a, 2d and 2e proceed without difficulties, furnishing the desired 1,3-dienes 3, 14 and 15 in good yields. The use of other alkenyl nonaflates and olefins in this Heck reaction was also examined. The main purpose of this study was the development of an in situ generation of the required alkenyl nonaflates 2 from the corresponding silyl enol ethers 1 and their one-pot transformation into 1,3-dienes. Thus, the previously described fluoride-promoted exchange of the trimethylsilyl substituent of typical enol ethers 1 for a nonafluorobutylsulfonyl group was directly combined with the palladium-catalysed coupling step. This sequence allowed the efficient transformation of a variety of silyl enol ethers 1 into highly substituted 1,3-dienes in a practical one-pot procedure. The scope and limitations, together with the chemo- and stereoselectivity, of this process are discussed. A particular intriguing example involves a one-pot synthesis of silyl enol ether 1j by means of a Diels−Alder reaction, subsequent nonaflation and a Heck reaction with tert-butyl acrylate, furnishing the highly functionalised 1,3-diene 30 in good overall yield.
